Judge rejects extension of 2014 UPMC Highmark consent decree
Commonwealth Court Judge Robert Simpson ruled the 2014 consent decree between UPMC and Highmark cannot be extended past the June 30 expiration. He said the modification provision does not override the explicit end date, likely sending the matter to the state Supreme Court. UPMC praised the decision while Highmark and the attorney general seek extension.

Bills push tax funding for state police across PA
Two nearly identical measures in the Pennsylvania Legislature would require residents in municipalities without local police to fund state police via a per capita tax. House Bill 959 and Senate Bill 741 would divert revenue from the Motor License Fund, shrinking it by four percent annually until a 2027 cap. In Lawrence County, Ellport and other nonpolice boroughs face the impact.
